Danelectro U2 '56 Reissue - 1990's Made In Korea

Welcome to Perky's Analog Gear Demos. Please subscribe for more demos of vintage & rare effects pedals!

I've been on eBay! I've been after one of these Danelectros for some years now and have done a lot of reading about them - it seems that the later reissues made in China don't have the best reputation and the old 1950s ones - as well as being very expensive - didn't have the best playability. So these 90s Korean reissues tend to be the 'players choice'.

In this video, I've set up a few interesting pedals to see what tones I can get out of this thing...so sit back and (hopefully!) enjoy!

(I'm a huge fan of Nick Williams' work - he makes absolutely killer pedals & I think he's one of the fuzz pedal builders around! Check out his work here: http://www.williamsaudio.co.uk)

What do you think? A lot of guitar for the money? Or not for you? Which tone is your favourite? Comment below!

Guitar is being played through a Hughes & Kettner Puretone Combo (recorded with an sE Electronics RNR1 Ribbon) and a Cornell Romany Plus (recorded with a 57)
